Alibi Room

The two-level space is a clean treatise on the joys of craft beer with a well-pedigreed chefÑGreg Armstrong, formerly of Habit LoungeÑbacking it up (try his smoked trout p‰té and his mountainous, beer-friendly juicy beast of a burger spiced with smoked onion mayo). There are close to 50 beers on offer, over half of them local craft creations. Prices can be as low as $3 for a small glass and as high as $25 for some rare bottles. If you can’t decide, go for the $11 Frat Bat Sampler, a quartet of small sleeves. Bonus: watch for the freight trains slowly gliding silently past the windows, close enough to touch.
